Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield, B72 1BL

Some houses have a way of wrapping themselves around you not just somewhere to live, but somewhere that feels like it’s always been home.

That’s exactly how it feels stepping into 84 Penns Lane.

Set behind a broad gravel driveway that comfortably parks multiple cars and with a garage too, this proud Edwardian home rises gracefully from the street with symmetry, stature, and that unmistakable elegance of a bygone era. But don’t be fooled into thinking this one is all about looks. Step through the front door and you’ll feel it too the soul of a proper family home.

From the porch, you step into a hallway that’s straight out of an interiors magazine yet utterly authentic. Minton tiled flooring runs underfoot, ceiling roses sit high above, and the walls carry the whispers of generations raised in love, laughter, and perhaps the odd teenage drama or two.

To the front, the main reception room is an absolute showstopper. A tall bay window frames the space beautifully, and there’s a comforting sense of calm and familiarity. It’s a room made for Sunday mornings with the papers, Christmases with too many people on the sofa, and evenings where the day winds down with a glass of something good.

At the rear, a second reception room brings versatility French doors open out to the garden, and the room itself is perfect for music, play, reading, or perhaps the best kind of mess the family kind. It’s quiet, comforting, and ready to flex with your lifestyle.

The dining room sits separately, bridging the original floorplan with more modern lifestyle needs. It’s hosted dinner parties and birthday cakes and now connects beautifully to a stylish kitchen that’s been recently updated with care and no small amount of flair.

Think shaker-style cabinetry, classic tones, and that iconic Smeg gas oven and hob as the centrepiece. It’s a kitchen with presence, practicality, and enough counter space to keep the whole family well fed.

Upstairs, the first floor holds three genuine double bedrooms each one generously sized and filled with that comforting sense of space that period homes deliver so well. The principal bedroom sits across the front of the house and is a masterclass in Edwardian proportions a vast bay window, tall ceilings, and an openness that makes you breathe a little deeper.

The family bathroom has been recently modernised too crisp, clean and stylish and having a separate WC just outside is such a simple but welcome touch especially for growing households or when guests come to stay.

And then there’s the top floor.

Currently the fourth bedroom, it’s already a brilliant space, but it holds even greater potential. With its vaulted feel and footprint, it’s just crying out to become a stunning master suite and there’s already a designated en-suite space up here just waiting for your design input. It’s a chance to make it truly yours.

The rear garden is private, mature and manageable a calm and sunny spot for kids, pets, or pottering with a brew in hand. It’s been the scene of BBQs, water fights, lazy Sundays, and everything in between.

But this home isn’t just about the bricks and mortar it’s about the people who’ve filled it. The current owners raised their (very fun, very big) family here. It’s been the safe space, the gathering place, the hub of busy lives. And while it’s now just the two of them rattling around as they put it, the warmth and personality of this home hasn’t gone anywhere.

Now they’re ready to downsize and let a new chapter begin perhaps for a growing family, a couple dreaming of period charm with space to spread out, or someone looking for a home with soul and potential.
